Chapter 277: Xue Luoluo



“Then we will give you a name.” Xue Wei could not help but feel his heart soften, and he did not want to disappoint her. Unfortunately, he was rather bad at coming up with names.

“How about ‘Xiaoxiao?’ She is so tiny after all,” Lin Xiao said, his eyes looking at the child with curiosity, but when she heard the name, she wrinkled her nose and shook her head.

“I think we should name her ‘The Other Brat’,” Hei Gou said while looking at Bai Tianyi, indicating that the first brat was indeed him.

Fortunately, Bai Tianyi had not noticed the glance, and instead, he stared at the child, deep in thought.

“I want big brother to give me a name!” The girl exclaimed after a bit of time, not patient enough to listen to more suggestions.

“Then what about Luoluo?” Xue Wei asked gently. “You can have my last name I am your big brother after all,” he continued and smiled at the child who nodded her head adorably. She was pleased with the name that her big brother had specially chosen for her.

Xue Wei looked at the kid and put her down on the ground before he took her hand into his and led her back into their house, having ultimately decided against going to the central square where the rest of the academy was meeting.

“Are you hungry?” he asked her gently. The girl nodded her head at first before she then changed her mind and shook it. “I am not hungry as such,” she explained, “but I have not eaten anything in many many many years. I want to eat something delicious!”

Xue Wei could not help but chuckle when seeing this ancient-turned-child show off her childish side, and he quickly ordered Mo Er to go fetch some food at the restaurant for them.

It was already early morning, and the sun was starting to rise in the sky. Usually, those who went to the restaurant at this time would be ordering breakfast, but Mo Er was told to order a wide range of dishes that he then brought back with him.

Points had previously been an issue for them, however after working with the Gu and Yuan families, points were no longer a rarity for them, and thus they could easily exchange their points for some amazing food to feed their new comrade.

Mo Er rushed back to the courtyard, where he found that the small girl had taken a bath and changed her clothes. She now looked like a small doll; her features were adorable, with a set of dimples on her cheeks and her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Her hair had been messy and dirty before, but now it was black and smooth like silk, her eyes reminded him of a doe, so adorable but also filled with life.

She was clothed in a small red dress that made her seem as if she was a noble-born daughter and someone who was favoured by the gods. The dress had been provided by Lin Xiao. The guy had everything hidden in his storage treasure, including children’s clothes, women’s clothes, masks that allowed one to become female and so on. Anything for escaping and masking oneself seemed to be hidden within his storage ring.

The soul was ancient, but her mind and body were still only that of a five-year-old child. She was so proud when she walked out of the bathroom, having bathed herself and dressed, and when she saw the satisfied expression on Xue Wei’s face, she became even more proud.

This was the feeling of having a family. There were no impure or uncomfortable thoughts; this was the purest kind of family love she could remember, a kind of love that Luoluo had lacked for a crushingly large number of years. Now that she finally had it, she delighted in greedily absorbing all the care that Xue Wei was pouring on her and making the most of it.

“Let us go and eat,” Xue Wei said, but Luoluo was not willing to walk, she stood in front of Xue Wei and spread her arms to him, gesturing for him to pick her up.

Powerless against her adorable but needy behavior, Xue Wei chuckled and bent over, picked her up, and carried her to the dining room where the others were waiting for them.

When Mo Er arrived with the dishes, everyone was eagerly waiting for him. He had purchased so much food that there was no way that they could ever finish it, but no one told him off for it; instead, they praised him.

After not eating for so many years, they all wanted to spoil Luoluo by allowing her to eat exactly what she fancied. Having bought such a huge variety of different dishes, it truly allowed her to savor whatever she pleased.

Her big eyes widened even further when she saw the food. She flared her nostrils when she caught the intoxicating scent, so she could smell more of the delicious food, and her mouth gaped slightly, drool starting to form at the corner of her lips, threatening to fall.

Her eyes were focused on the wide array of dishes, from spring rolls filled with fresh and colorful local herbs to a huge bowl of magnificently bronzed sweet-and-sour Scorch Boar, and even some valuable Spirit Fruits as they had the points to indulge now; it was a truly overwhelming sight that caused her eyes to cloud with a mixture of emotions. In one way, she wished to devour it all until her stomach threatened to explode, but at the same time, she was worried and scared. What if this kindness and warmth she was feeling now suddenly vanished? What was she going to do then?

Xue Wei seemed to sense what was going on in her mind, so he gently looked at her, “we are family,” he said gently to the worried kid. “We will not abandon you even if we have to do something dangerous. But you have to listen to big brother when big brother says things,” Xue Wei said to her, placing a fragrant plate of fat Wontons between them. She quickly nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice and swiped the first Wonton before greedily sinking her teeth into it and having the subtle yet calming flavour of the Ice Lotus Shrimp filling flood her hungry mouth with serenity and happiness.

Having her fears calmed, Luoluo did not waste any more time as she dug into the next of many dishes; the Mapo Tofu, unluckily, being the closest within devouring range but making her yelp in surprise at the sudden spiciness that invaded her mouth. The others also merrily began to dig into the feast too, enjoying the local flavours and their spiritual-energy-enhancing capabilities, as well as giggling whenever Luoluo made comments about how delicious or strange something she tried was.Before long, Xue Luoluo has sampled everything and devoured plenty, taking particular delight in the most delicious dishes such as the Riluo roasted duck and the chow mein, while the others enjoyed the more power-imbuing foods such as the Spiritual Fruits more. It wasn’t long before every scrap of the food on every plate had been devoured, despite them initially thinking it was too much. All of it was now digesting in their bloated stomachs, and even small Luoluo was rubbing her stomach contentedly, delighted about trying so much delicious food after so long.

As they finished eating, Xue Wei was planning on returning to his room to cultivate and rest to help process all the new energy, when Yuan Bailong appeared at the door.

His face was slightly pale, and his eyes shone with panicked disbelief. Seeing him like this, Xue Wei frowned and instantly invited him inside.

“What has happened that has caused you to become so shocked?” Xue Wei asked tentatively, starting to worry whether or not he should have gone to the square after all.

“There has been a disaster last night.” Yuan Bailong went straight to the problem, “just before sunrise, the entire academy’s abundant soul power suddenly vanished. Not to mention that the Soul Tower has been without any soul power since. It does not matter how far you head up into the tower. There is no energy at all.”

“No soul power?” Xue Wei frowned. Last night, he had been busy with saving Luoluo, but it seemed that something else had also happened to the academy, something big. Was this a coincidence or did it have something to do with each other?

Xue Wei looked at Luoluo who was happily sitting on her chair and caressing her bloated stomach with happiness, a feeling of contentedness that they had never seen before all over her face.

Xue Wei looked at Yuan Bailong, contemplating his next move. “Luoluo I am going out, do you want to come with me?” he called behind him, and the small girl rushed towards him with a happy face and spread her arms, gesturing for him to pick her up.

Xue Wei chuckled and bent down to carry her. When she settled on his arm, she looked around with shining eyes, her sudden appearance stunning Yuan Bailong. He had not seen this child around them before, where had it come from?

“This is my little sister, Xue Luoluo,” Xue Wei introduced, not worrying about any confusion it might bring. “She has been with us for some time but has been hidden; now there is no reason for her to hide anymore.”

Yuan Bailong was surprised, but he still nodded his head in confusion and then started moving towards the Soul Tower. Although this sudden appearance of a small girl had taken him by surprise, the truth was that there were much more important issues at hand.

Walking together, Bai Tianyi, Lin Xiao, and Hei Gou also rushed with Xue Wei out of the door. They were also surprised to find out that the Soul Tower had suddenly lost all power; it was clear that there was something behind this—something major, but no one knew what exactly it could be. Surely all this couldn’t be because of a small child?

“Has anything like this happened before?” Xue Wei tried asking Yuan Bailong as they walked, but the other man just shook his head. “If the Soul Tower was unable to work, then it would be an issue all would know about,” he said dejectedly. “The Soul Tower is very important to the entire Yan Dalu. The entire continent is specialized in spiritual energy, and our rapid advancement is definitely because of the support from the Garden of Shadows and the Soul Tower.

“If the Soul Tower has suddenly stopped working, then it is clear that the entire continent will be slowed down when it comes to the speed of cultivation. This will be a tremendous danger for the entire continent, and we might even be invaded by other continents if we are not careful enough.”

Yuan Bailong was truly worried, but Xue Wei just looked around curiously. He had trained hard from beginning to end; although he understood the benefits of the Soul Tower, he also looked at it as a hindrance to the multi-eyed experts if Yuan Bailong’s words were true.

They were so dependant on the tower to enhance their strength that they were not aware of how much they could achieve with their own hard work. They were so used to gaining so much every time they cultivated that they had neglected to work on their cultivation skills.

In fact, Xue Wei could not help but feel that it was indeed important for them to learn how to rely on themselves. “You should be happy,” Xue Wei suddenly said with a shrug, causing Yuan Bailong to halt in surprise.“Happy?!” he asked, his face full of confusion.

Without stopping to confront him, Xue Wei responded, “if the Soul Tower does not work, that means that every person has to rely on themselves in the future. Since they have to rely on themselves, it also means that Qi cultivation is as viable as spiritual energy, but this is a path only open to you and the Gu family.”

Even thinking about it, Yuan Bailong was still dumbfounded. He had never thought about it like this, but he couldn’t help but be moved when he considered it. If their speed of spiritual energy cultivation had truly slowed down, wouldn’t that mean they were at a great advantage, compared to the rest of the cultivators now?

With this newfound idea, the horrible feeling of dread about not knowing what was happening slowly subsided, and Yuan Bailong continued onwards. However, he no longer ran to the Soul Tower; instead, he walked casually, a faint smile growing on his lips. He was not the one with the most to lose.
